Casting for The BIG Project

This blog post was first put out before 'The BIG Project' was revealed on 8th September 2013. I haven't updated it much, deliberately leaving it fixed in the past. However, full details of what was revealed at the launch can be found here and the casting process below is still in place. Do get in touch - either by email contact@milkbottleproductions.co.uk or Twitter me @RobertCrighton

Actors / Artists /
Collaborators Wanted:

PROJECT 10/52

Milk
Bottle Productions 2014

Next year will be a
big year for Milk Bottle with lots of shows wanting actors, as well as more
vaguely defined people, to collaborate with, to help make new and exciting
shows... The work is sporadic, so, though fee paying, is not going to get
anyone rich, but that means it should fit round other work commitments.

There’s no rush –
I’m looking to cast as I go along and there are still many months to go before
the first show will even start rehearsal.
I can’t even tell you about the shows themselves until the official
launch on Sunday 8th September – so, as I say, no rush. [Actually, I can, follow this link!]

So, here’s how getting
involved in what is currently known as The BIG Project.

Stage 1. Interest. Now onwards...

Send me a
general expression of interest and a CV.
I’m not interested in a photo, your physical appearance is of divine
disinterest to me. If I already know you
and your work then just express an interest, we’ll go from there. Just email me at contact@milkbottleproductions.co.uk

Stage 2. Saying: ‘Hello!’ September onwards...

I need people I can work with – who I click
with artistically. So, rather than start
with auditions, I’ll start with a meeting and coffee. I want people who will respond and create, as
well as performers who can do what I ask them to do.

Stage 3. Auditions – Online and live. November onwards...

By this stage there will be scripts and words
and images and stuff which we can throw around.
Ideally I’d like to see online submissions on video before going to live
auditions – though if you can’t make any of the live audition dates I will take
your online audition as gospel. I have
cast people this way before.
